I am identifying obstacles to making this clinic able to operate without being overrun by lawsuits.

I am not at all opposed to workarounds - it’s why I am pointing out the obstacles. We need to update laws so that minors have bodily autonomy.

In my opinion, that’s the legal solution. It doesn’t mean there aren’t other ways to make it work that Mamdani might embrace, because as a mayor he cannot enact that kind of legislation in the first place.

The unfortunate reality is that not having that policy would mean 80% of their funding would go to legal defense for lawsuits from aggrieved right wing parents who have outside funding for their suits.

Until the laws state clearly that minors can make their own medical decisions independent of their parents, this is the correct decision. And even in that case this clinic would still be under attack.

Reality still sucks, and we still need to keep trying to make it better. Mamdani is a ray of hope, but he isn’t in and of himself hope incarnate, nor is he a perfect ray of light.

He’s just human. So are we. He’s trying to make things better, and so can we.

I watched video about it (from the Astrum channel I believe) and they speculated it (or any of the six related Russian spy satellites) might be downloading a large packet at the nearby GPS frequency so it wouldn’t be spotted.

That’s just in addition to assuming it is intended to block the GPS range entirely.
